Ok, I made the correction and I'm still getting these errors:

mail# dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/da0 bs=512 count=79
dd: /dev/da0: Operation not permitted
mail# gmirror configure -a gm0
mail# gmirror insert gm0 /dev/da0
Cannot access provider da0.

You can see from the above what section I am working on. It doesn't make
sense to me. I'm following the instructions verbatim. I only created one
slice and one partition. Any other ideas?
